Subject: [LINUX-390] Issues trying to install RHEL 8

Has anyone run into problems getting RHEL 8 to install on Z? I've run
into a weird problem.  Two different experienced Linux guys have looked
at it, and we are all stumped.

Background:

The install is being done in a 3G virtual machine on z/VM 6.4 on a
LinuxOne (z13 generation).  We have lots of different versions of Linux
running on the same system, including RHEL 7, CentOS, Ubuntu 18 and SLES
15.  So, I don't think its a kernel/cpu type problem.

Problem:

When I run the REDHAT exec to bring up the install kernel, it starts
booting and things look like they will be OK.  Until it gets to the
point where "dracut initqueue" starts.  There is a message "7 urandom
warnings(s) missed due to ratelimiting".  It then pauses for a couple of
minutes, followed by a series of messages, "dracut-initqueue timeout -
starting timeout scripts". Eventually, it ends up in dracut in emergency
mode.  The install process never starts.  I've changed numerous
parameters, even changed what type of disk I'm using for the install.
It doesn't matter, its exactly the same problem each time.

Really scratching my head on this one.
